A great deal of thought should be given to this,...No?!!!

8mm is a very bulky format for inclusion into a still camera. Even 4mm is pushing it. 8mm has made sense for *analog* video as a miniature form of video tape with similar recording technologies. I has been used for digital storage where it has capacities which I think now go up into the 20-40GB per tape, but as lovely as that capacity sounds, fitting even the tape inside a still camera, not to mention the transport, sounds like a poor combination to me.
